That said, Carragher does believe that there is still plenty of time for Salah to usurp Suarez and etch his name in Liverpool folklore.

"People are comparing him to Suarez when he was here, who would you rather have and all that. But what Salah has over Suarez, for Liverpool, is the big games he's scored in," he added.

"When we had Suarez and Torres, we thought they were as good as anyone around. But when they eventually left the club, they only left with 'he was a great player'. They didn't actually take the team to something.

"Salah could take the team to a European Cup, and if he does that he's a Liverpool legend. When you win a big trophy, everyone is a hero."
